Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The tool is very easy to use.""The initial setup is easy.""The most valuable feature was the visual drag and drop on the components.""You don't need a dedicated IDE to develop. You can work from any browser, which is very convenient. And, with the cloud concept, your code is stored in the cloud, so you can modify it from anywhere, at any time."

Cons
"The tool has minor bugs.""The feature called "action chains" could use a bit of enhancement.""I would improve the license structure as, for some companies, it may seem a little bit expensive, depending on what they're doing.""There was an attempt to enable front-end development, it did what it intended to do, but the side effects were too bad."

More Oracle Visual Builder Cloud Service Cons →

"My impression of the stability is that it is not good. Almost every month there is something new and that makes us nervous about delivery.""From what I understand, the SAP Cloud Platform is for implementation on AWS or Azure, and it's not meant to be a full-fledged cloud solution, so while using the platform, an area for improvement is that it has fewer offerings and is less flexible when compared to AWS. AWS has a lot more flexibility than the SAP Cloud Platform. I've also used Azure in college and AWS in between, and I prefer AWS over the SAP Cloud Platform. The only reason I would ever stick with the SAP Cloud Platform is to create applications integrated with SAP or with other companies within SAP, such as SuccessFactors. When you go into the SAP Cloud Platform web page, it's a bit bland and has relatively limited offerings. For example, there doesn't seem to be in-house MongoDB support, but I realize there's in-house support for the PostgreSQL database, so there are fewer offerings in the SAP Cloud Platform. Yes, you can always go for a database on the actual MongoDB server rather than depending on the offerings of the SAP Cloud Platform. However, it's still better to support MongoDB from the platform, so payment is consolidated, rather than going to a different location to make a payment. Another room for improvement in the SAP Cloud Platform is the need to create an SAP subaccount if you need to use the platform unless you have an SSO login by Google or if you're using a different identity provider such as Microsoft or Google. Instead of requiring dependency on SAP, it would be good if users could use the SAP Cloud Platform even without a subaccount on SAP. For example, when hosting an application on AWS or Azure, you don't have to create an account in Amazon or Microsoft. You can still do it using Google. You can use almost anything, so I'd like SAP to improve by removing the dependency, particularly the requirement to create an SAP account to use the SAP Cloud Platform.""Lacks flexibility in its licensing structure.""The addition of more industry use cases would be an improvement.""I would like for it to have integration to GitHub.""The solution’s pricing could be improved.""The price of the solution could improve.""I would like to see more and better support for data transformations."

  • "Cost-wise, I'm unsure of how expensive the SAP Cloud Platform is."
